How about Vika taking advantage of the stupid MTO rule?

This is only my second year watching, but I remember almost the exact same situation last year. Can't remember the match, but it was an obvious abuse. I also remember several times when a player would have the trainer give them a rub down on the court when it seemed that their primary motivation was just to stop the match in order to regroup. So, I mean, my reaction is like, "it happens," and I wonder why they talk about it like it's so shocking and controversial.

I thought Serena was faking right up until I saw that deadspin post this afternoon.

Did you see the Deadspin post about people calling Serena Sloane's mentor? Amazing.

I liked Murray better when everyone thought he was an ass.

Yeah, Murray's a whiny dick but I like him.

Roger

Murray
Djokovic

Hate Nadal

The Djoker better win this. Murray being the best player in the game is really sucky for mens tennis.

The other night I flipped on Fox Sports MW and rough ridin' Jim Courrier was playing John McEnroe in tennis. The weird thing was it wasn't a replay of an old match, it was these two old fuckers playing tennis in slow motion in present day.

That's when I was reminded only only like watching tight eastern European babes play tennis.

Agreed. Why settle for old, wrinkly has-been tennis dudes playing when tight, svelte Eurobabes are available?

Mods, Pls change thread title to 2013. T-Y Swifty

I've been enjoying the French Open so far. I'm like all of the top guys (Djok, Fed, Rafa) but I would root for Roger over the other two. I really just enjoy watching high level tennis.

My dad told me that Tsonga's style reminds him of James Blake.

Looks like we might get "steve dave semis." (Seeds 1-4.)

steve dave semis are the only way to go.

So do the French hate Serena or something? What an awkward crowd.

I don't really see that

Incidentally my tennis irl friends call me Tsonga, although it's a little racist, I suppose it applies I play a similar style and have a similar temperament on the court, frequently swearing at myself when I hit frequent awful shots.

Yep. Yep.

I hate the French Open, terrible major, obviously an afterthought considering its placement on the tennis calendar. Bring on Wimbledon.

Its my second fav to Wimbledon. I like how diff the clay makes the game. Wouldn't want to watch any more than the one major on it, though.
